Is it easier to mine asteroids than planets if teleportation technology exists?

A technology for instantaneous travel exists, making it possible to travel to any point within our galaxy. Travel time and cost are equal and are not affected by distance. The teleportation devices can operate equally well in space and on the surface of a planet.
